    does anyone know a net store where I could get some components for notebooks?

    I'd like to buy the mini pci express slot for the graphic card. the old one on my motherboard got damaged. I tested the mbo, it works like a charm... except the it doesnt display anything on the screen. so I'd like to do some home repair on it. at least to test my welding skills :)

    Like most connectors in a pc, it's probably made by Molex. But Molex doesn't sell to the general public, and you'd probably have to a buy a lot of 1000 of them.

    Best bet is to buy a dead notebook on ebay and retrieve the part from that. As small as the traces are in today's notebooks, you must have some DAMN good soldering skills to even attempt this swap.
